Chapter 287: Excitement
Hou Mo Chen Chong returned to Yecheng and did not rush to see Chen Yu, and only after freshening up and changing his clothes, and picking them all up properly, he came to Chen Yu's mansion, knocked on the door and handed over his name, and the housekeeper of Chen's mansion rushed over. [No pop-ups. 】
Wang Yu, the famous housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, is a Han man in his forties, his figure looks a little thin, his eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows are bright and bright, full of shrewd taste, the signature kind smile on his face makes up for the sense of philistine brought by his sharp eyes, and a pair of silk shoes and socks under his feet show the dignity and generosity of the wealthy family, and a robe looks very decent as if it grows on the body.
"Your Highness has instructed that you don't need to be polite if you come to the door, please come with me directly!" Wang Jue said respectfully to Hou Mo Chen Chong, and then personally led the way for Hou Mo Chen Chong.
"It's hard work!" The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, Hou Mo Chen Chong was also very polite to the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, and when he was in the front hall, Hou Mo Chen Chong found that the housekeeper did not take him to Chen Yu's study, but went straight to the back house.
Generally speaking, the host will not meet guests in the back house, which is also extremely rude, but if you are very familiar with each other's friends, there is no such concern, and there is a situation where people with high status meet their subordinates in the back house, which also means that they value each other more (Chairman Jiang likes to come to this hand!). Hou Mo Chen Chong saw the housekeeper leading him to the back house, and he immediately felt flattered.
In the backyard, a four- or five-year-old child is holding a mini wooden gun to compare moves, the child's chubby little face baby fat has not faded, and the marksmanship also looks very cute, but the expert Hou Mo Chen Chong recognized at a glance that the child is the best marksmanship of the hundreds of masters.
"The last general will see the lord!" Hou Mo Chen Chong saluted with his hand, he was the same as Zhao Gui, no matter how high Chen Yu's official position was, he still only called the lord in private, so as to show that he was Chen Yu's direct confidant.
"Shangle doesn't have to be polite!" Chen Yu smiled and took the other party's hand and walked directly to the stone table under the porch, as soon as the two sat down, the maid served tea and fruit plate, and then all the maids retreated, of course, they didn't forget to take the little boy who was in full swing in martial arts also took away
"At such an age, Shizi has a good marksmanship. The future is limitless! Hou Mo Chen Chong sighed half-heartedly.
"As soon as this kid in my family reads, he will either be sleepy, or he will be noisy and have a headache, and he will be a hundred times more energetic when he plays martial arts!" Chen Yu also looked doting when he talked about his eldest son, and he was blaming the child on the surface, but he was full of pride. Although Chen Yu himself is quite talented, but in the eyes of the ancients, he himself has no culture, and he does not know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics......
"Haha. Shizi is still young, and he will be able to learn it when he is a little older! Hou Mo Chen Chong said with a haha, he gently picked up the teacup, peeked at Chen Yu's expression, and saw that the other party was in a good mood, Hou Mo Chen Chong began to think about how to open his mouth to ask for battle, and how to say it so that it would not seem too abrupt.
Chen Yuming knew the other party's intentions, but he didn't show it, and continued the previous topic, "When this kid is older, I'll send him to the master." Only when the master teaches him can I be reassured! ”
"Of course, it is excellent for Lord He Bayun to train the son!" Hou Mo Chen Chonggan laughed, although he was anxious, he didn't know how to change the topic to the war, but he didn't just know how to open his mouth for a while.
"You have gone on a long trip, not only your body is darker and stronger, but you are also deep and have a city!" Chen Yu smiled and spoke for the other party: "How long do you think the rebel army in Jiaozhou can last?" ”
Seeing Chen Yu mention the things he was most concerned about, Hou Mo Chen Chong's eyes immediately lit up, "The leader of the rebel army in Jiaozhou is the patriarch of the Li clan named Li Wanjun, the Li clan is the leading family in the local area, and Liang Guo is indeed bullying the local people too much this time." Therefore, the people of Jiaozhou are extremely united, and the morale of the righteous army is very strong, but in contrast, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xiao Zhi will not do anything except hold money.
But Xiao Zhi wanted to save face. I expected that he would definitely hide the news of the rebel army at the beginning, and by the time Xiao Yan, the lord of Daoyi Kingdom, found out that it would be too late to send troops again, even if Xiao Yan's army was exhausted due to the complex terrain of Jiaozhou, under normal circumstances, I expected that the rebel army would be able to hold out for at least four to six months! ”
"Under normal circumstances? Is there anything else? Chen Yu gently flicked the tea leaves, glanced at the other party, and asked with a smile.
"Don't hide it from your lord. I secretly supported some weapons and property of the Jiaozhou Volunteers, I believe I can help them a lot! Hou Mo Chen Chong rubbed his nose and continued with an embarrassed look: "In addition, Lin Yiguo was also severely warned by me, they definitely did not dare to help Liang Guo suppress the uprising, and at the critical moment, they might even provide some food and other help to the rebel army......
"The capital of Linyi has been looted by you, and the king is scared, of course he doesn't dare to do it again!" Chen Yu said angrily: "You kid remember next time, it's not that you are not allowed to rob, but at least you have to pretend to be a pirate, how can you openly attack under the banner of Great Wei!" ”
When Hou Mo Chen Chong returned, he heard about the uprising of the Jiaozhou Righteous Army, he not only supported a large number of property and weapons, but also helped the Righteous Army fight, and even took Lin Yiguo, who helped Liang State suppress the uprising, also cleaned it up, but the historical Lin Yi State was also Liang Guo's pig teammates, and they did not play any role except to help the Righteous Army train and build confidence.
The uprising in Jiaozhou was seven or eight years earlier than Chen Yu expected, and the original leader of the rebel army, Li Ben, is now just a personal guard of Hou Mo Chen Chong......
"Hehe, this is also something that can't be helped, mainly because there is no large pirate gang nearby, and we don't have to pretend!" Hou Mo Chen Chong scratched his head, grinned and said: "Lord, I estimate that it will be difficult for the Liang State to send troops to exterminate the righteous army, the geographical situation of Jiaozhou is indeed too complicated, it is all jungle swamps, and without locals as guides, it is difficult for ordinary troops to survive in it, let alone fight!" ”
"This is true, Jiaozhou is really not easy to fight, especially in today's Liang Kingdom, there are few people available!" Chen Yu remembered that the Jiaozhou Rebellion was finally pacified by Chen Baxian, and it took three years for the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty to pacify Jiaozhou, "I also understand your intentions, but you don't need to do the matter of directly sending troops to support Jiaozhou!" ”
"If you send troops to support, you need to transport troops by water, and among the generals, I am the only one who is familiar with navigation, is there a suitable candidate for the lord?" Hou Mo Chen Chong asked curiously.
"We don't expect to occupy Jiaozhou, as long as we find some trouble for Liang Guo, it's too wasteful of talent for you to spend in that kind of remote place!" Chen Yu's fingers habitually tapped on the table, and said slowly: "That Li Ben under your command, just let him bring a thousand elites to support the Jiaozhou Righteous Army......
"Li Ben has indeed fought a few battles with me in the past two years, although this person is so young that he is also a rare talent, but the form of Jiaozhou is so complicated, he has no experience of being alone, and besides, this thousand people are a little less!" Hou Mo Chen Chong had no doubts about the ability of his subordinates, but he felt that the number of soldiers and horses given by Chen Yu was a little too picky......
"There are not many soldiers in Jiaozhou, and if there are too many people, the Jiaozhou Righteous Army will inevitably be suspicious, if you tell Li Ben, just say that it was me Chen Yu who said it, and if he goes to Jiaozhou alone, it is enough to top 5,000 elite soldiers!" Chen Yu said with a smile: "It's not too late to let him rest for half a month before setting off, anyway, he is familiar with the Jiaozhou Rebels after all!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" Hou Mo Chen Chong replied, then scratched his head with his hand, and asked with a salivating face: "Li Ben, this kid can lead the army, so what should I do?" ”
"When Jiaozhou drags Xiao Yan into hatred and discomfort, we will officially cut down the beam, and I will let you be the pioneer general at that time!" As soon as Chen Yu's words fell, Hou Mo and Chen Chong had already jumped up excitedly...... (To be continued.) )
